fastify-url

A plugin for fastify for accessing an incoming request's URL data.

fastify-url is inspired by fastify-url-data and is just a thin wrapper around Node's URL object.

Usage

const fastify = require('fastify')();

fastify.register(require('fastify-url').default);

fastify.get('/*', (req, reply) => {
  const url = req.url();

  req.log.info(url.host);          // 'sub.example.com:8080'
  req.log.info(url.hostname);      // 'sub.example.com'
  req.log.info(url.href);          // 'http://user:pass@sub.example.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string'
  req.log.info(url.origin);        // 'http://sub.example.com:8080'
  req.log.info(url.password);      // 'pass'
  req.log.info(url.pathname);      // '/p/a/t/h'
  req.log.info(url.port);          // '8080'
  req.log.info(url.protocol);      // 'http:'
  req.log.info(url.search);        // '?query=string'
  req.log.info(url.username);      // 'user'

  // if you just need single data:
  req.log.info(req.url('pathname')); // '/p/a/t/h'

  reply.send();
});

// GET: 'http://user:pass@sub.example.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string'

Options

protocol

Type: string Default: http

This property allows you to change the protocol the incoming request's URL object will absorb. This is used because it's difficult to find the protocol the request was received from within the request handler.

fastify-url vs fastify-url-data

The difference between these two plugins is fastify-url uses the native NodeJS URL class and fastify-url-data uses uri-js. These implementations provide some of the same features but have different data members. Depending on your requirements you may need one or the other, but using both is redundant.
